Looks good, but do something about pirated software. There are always alternatives. How is your PC now?

I take your point on that. I think the original problem stems from when I lived in a shared house and let anyone use my laptop (not the case any longer). Laptop now seems fine.

Once again, I really appreciate all your help on this. When I get paid at the end of the month I'll make a donation to the cause. You guys do a really good job : )

Thanks a lot, Andy! I appreciate it!

In this case, it is important to take adequate steps to prevent such problems. For example, you can create a separate account to anyone who uses this laptop to limit its privileges so as not to create problems. You could start from here:

Next, manually delete DDS and TDSSKiller. Also, uninstall ESET Online Scanner.


Safe surfing!

I've cleaned everything off the hard drive.

Luckily I'm the only user of the machine now. Hopefully I can keep things running well.

Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge. : )
